Squidsoup

Squidsoup is an international group of artists, researchers and designers (UK/NO/NZ) working with digital and interactive media experiences. Our work combines sound, physical space and virtual worlds to produce immersive and emotive headspaces where participants can take active control of their experience. We explore the modes and effects of interactivity, looking to make digital experiences where meaningful and creative interaction can occur. Our work has been shown at numerous festivals, seminars and galleries around the world, including Ars Electronica Festival (Linz Austria, 2010), SIGGRAPH (LA, 2001 and 2010), Glastonbury (2010), Kinetica Art Fair (London 2010), ISEA (Belfast, Northern Ireland 2009 and Nagoya, Japan, 2002), the V&A (Late at the V&A, London, October 2008) as well as several online exhibitions. Recognition includes an honorary mention at Prix FILE LUX (Interactive Art, 2010), an International EMMA for Best On-line Art and a BAFTA nomination (Interactive Arts 2002).
